Detailed Product Description

The Champion Racing 296 spark plug features a single ground electrode with a cut back design, enhancing spark exposure to the air-fuel mixture for improved combustion efficiency. Both the ground and center electrodes use nickel core materials, providing a balance of conductivity and wear resistance suitable for racing environments. The plug comes pre-gapped at 0.035 inches (0.89 mm), ensuring consistent ignition timing and performance out of the box. Its flat seat and 0.75 inch reach with a 14 mm thread diameter make it compatible with many performance engines requiring precise fitment. The non-removable nut terminal type ensures a secure electrical connection, while the hex size of 0.625 inch (15.88 mm) allows for easy installation with common tools. This plug is classified under Champion Racing plugs and carries a manufacturer heat range of 59, optimized for high-heat, high-RPM conditions.
